Inspection
Measure the diameter of each bolt at point A and point B





Calculate the difference in diameter between point A and point B

Point A-Point B = Difference in Diameter

Difference in diameter specification 0-0.1 mm (0-0.004 in)

If the difference in diameter is out of tolerance, replace the bolt
